A New Species of Plasmodium of the Subgenus Novyella Infecting White-Shouldered Fire-Eyes (Pyriglena leucoptera) (Aves: Thamnophilidae) in Brazil. [PDF]

Integr Zool
South America has a remarkable genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians, yet only a few species have been described combining molecular and morphological data. This study introduces Plasmodium (Novyella) pyriglenae sp. nov., a new species infecting the white‐shouldered fire‐eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) in Brazil.

RESPOSTA IMUNE INATA DE QUIRÓPTEROS EM AMBIENTES ANTROPIZADOS: INFECÇÃO POR HAEMOSPORIDA NA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA [PDF]

, 2023
O avanço de ações antrópicas próximas às áreas naturais favoreceu um estreito contato entre os humanos e animais silvestres nos seus habitats, propiciando a dispersão de agentes parasitários e infecciosos para novos hospedeiros. Uma grande diversidade de

Host Cells of Leucocytozoon (Haemosporida, Leucocytozoidae) Gametocytes, with Remarks on the Phylogenetic Importance of This Character

Pathogens, 2023
Leucocytozoon parasites remain poorly investigated in comparison to other haemosporidians. The host cell inhabited by their blood stages (gametocytes) remains insufficiently known. This study aimed to determine the blood cells inhabited by Leucocytozoon gametocytes in different species of Passeriformes and to test if this feature has a phylogenetic ...

Specialized avian Haemosporida trade reduced host breadth for increased prevalence [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2014
AbstractParasite specialization on one or a few host species leads to a reduction in the total number of available host individuals, which may decrease transmission. However, specialists are thought to be able to compensate by increased prevalence in the host population and increased success in each individual host.

FT-GPI, a highly sensitive and accurate predictor of GPI-anchored proteins, reveals the composition and evolution of the GPI proteome in Plasmodium species

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Protozoan parasites are known to attach specific and diverse group of proteins to their plasma membrane via a GPI anchor. In malaria parasites, GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) have been shown to play an important role in host–pathogen ...

Bird Community Composition, Migration, and Environmental Factors Jointly Influence the Global Distribution of Avian Haemosporidian Lineages. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Avian haemosporidians are widely distributed; however, the role of migratory and non‐migratory birds, as well as environmental conditions, is incompletely understood. A histogram of the number of parasite lineages per ecoregion shows the variation in avian haemosporidian richness across space.

Distribution pattern of apicomplexan parasites (Sporozoa: Haemosporida) in Columba livia, Gmelin [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2011
During 39 months of sampling, the prevalence of apicomplexan parasites (Haemoproteus and Plasmodium) was studied in Columba livia Gmelin of Rohilkhand region, UP, India, according to the sex of the host, different seasons and host localities. Out of 266 pigeons sampled, 148 pigeons were positive for Haemoproteus at a prevalence of 55.63%.

Molecular Investigation Confirms Myotis Genus Bats as Common Hosts of Polychromophilus in Brazil

Microorganisms, 2023
Plasmodium spp. and some other blood parasites belonging to the order Haemosporida are the focus of many epidemiological studies worldwide. However, haemosporidian parasites from wild animals are largely neglected in scientific research.

Acceptance, availability, and feasibility of RTS, S/AS01 malaria vaccine: A review

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 11, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
RTS, S/AS01 vaccine offers a manageable route of administration and some evidence of effectiveness against malaria, albeit simultaneously increasing the incidence of meningitis and cerebral malaria complications. Abstract Introduction In malaria‐stricken regions, malaria continues to be one of the primary causes of mortality for children. The number of
